Hello,
Would somebody with data modeling experience look at the data model I developed? I am working on a site dedicated to keyboard shortcuts driven by a MySQL database. The first version works, but is not that great. I am trying to come up with something better and can use some help. It is a hobby of mine and I think the world could use one user-driven database with all keyboard shortcuts as a reference.
Thanks!
Max (aka Benni)

Project:
- Database-driven Keyboard Shortcut Site

Database in place:
- Two tables for each application.
- Table 1 = Shortcuts per Application
- Table 2 = Shortcut Categories within application

Data Model planned:
- Only one table for Shortcuts and one for Shortcut Categories
- User can now upload/edit shortcuts. User Management through phpBB forum
- Since Users can edit, each relevant table has columns to trace changes
- Applications are categorized by type (e.g. Spreadsheets, Text Editors), by provider (e.g. Microsoft, Open Source), and by platform (e.g. Linux, Windows)

Can you post the CREATE TABLE statements for the database in place, categories and shortcuts?
